It looks like a site that is mocking Christianity but I don't think it's blasphemous in that your son will burn in eternal hell fire for wearing it if that's what you're asking.

It breaks the 2nd commandment. It also makes a mockery of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and his name. It's blasphemous and is a sin.

Presumably your son is an adolescent. As the parent, of course your house your rules. But I'd argue that prudence would suggest not bearing a hammer, but a soft touch--in love you can express your discomfort with things such as this. But also, remember that children go through rebellious phases--this isn't a forever thing. At the end of the day it's only a shirt, and it shouldn't be cause enough to create antagonism between the two of you.

Let your love of your child be God's means of drawing your son to respectfulness and, ultimately, to a deeper love and appreciation of Christ. Do not be a pushover, but have the wisdom to know what battles to fight.

Personally I do not like any Christian clothing period whether it mocks Christ and simply a Christian advertising their faith like a personal billboard for the whole world to see. Merchandising Christ just feels so utterly wrong.

Over 20 years ago I came across what I think was a pretty obscure Christian band called Atomic Opera, the only song I really know by them was "Jesus Junk" which was a lamentation over Christian consumerist culture.

Great criticism on the Christian consumerist culture... just walk it humbly, don't wear it loudly.
